This Queen has joker in her name because she was an extra, a sort of spare in case the other one didn't make it. I'm calling her a joker because the jokers are kind of spare cards.
When I first thought about painting cards, I imagined making every single one The Queen of Hearts. But in the end, I painted queens in all suits and created a set of mini Queens of Hearts as Valentines for friends.
The Queen of Hearts represents unconditional love, passion, emotional connection, and a nurturing spirit—such beautiful qualities! I hope viewers feel that love and passion when they see this painting.
Of course, the Queen of Hearts also has a connection to Alice in Wonderland—if that’s your thing.
